Borresteijn (1347), Amstelveen, Netherlands Oct 1, 2009 33cl Bottle from Achelse Kluis. Hazy orange colour, dense creamy white head. Aroma of yeast, ripe stonefruits, sugar, some wheat. Flavour is sweet, malty, very fruity with pineapple, peach and pear, yeast, drying light bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Very nice tripel. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Sep 26, 2009 Pours a clear light gold with a large frothy white head. Smels fruity and sugary with some grassy elements. Tastes of perfume, some citrus, grassy, dry pilsner malt, some funky hints. eManu (170), Brussels, Belgium Sep 18, 2009 Pours a hazy gold color with a nice white creamy head. Aroma of hops and some fruits and a hint of vanilla. Flavors are very floral, hoppy and light, with spices and a hint of vanilla. A slightly bitter ending but with a nice lasting taste. Very nice and very enjoyable. OD40oz (600), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA Sep 11, 2009 I was pumped to try this one when I saw it. Pours a hazy yellow with a ton of carbonation. Ive never seen such a fizzy beer in my life. Huge frothy white head. Pretty shitty taste in my opinion. A sour, puke taste. I can’t believe I wasted five bucks for a bottle of this crap. Belgium sucks. Wombata (74), Kobe, Japan Sep 10, 2009 Appearance: Light straw color, white head.
Aroma: Sweet floral, candy sugar with ripe pear showing as it warms.
Flavor: Sweet caramel and candy sugar from start to finish. A touch of spice and a toasted note on the finish.
Comment: Bottle states best before 4/10. Not complex but very pleasant caramel and toasty malt flavors. A good "gateway" triple to introduce to newcomers? daniele (1640), Italy Sep 8, 2009 chiara buona schiuma piuttosto persitente note leggermente fruttate buon erbaceo un tocco alcolico in bocca bilanciata inizialmente poi l’amaro e etilico escono un po di più Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 3, 2009 Pours a lacing, fizzy, white head with a hazy orange body. Aromas of bubblegum, candi sugar, zest, grass, and yeast. Flavor is about the same as the aroma. Fairly clean finish. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 1, 2009 I bought this on sale today for $3.18 but I didn’t notice it was dated best by 01/06/07! Oh, well its Belgian and will probably still be interesting. I poured this extremely slow because there was a shitload of sediment. This beer looks really nice with a two inch white head and a murky dark orange body. The smell is sweet honey, The taste is a slight tinge of licorice twizzlers and fresh bread. Mouthfeel is smooth but dry at the end and the aftertaste really coats my mouth. This beer is decent but unlike the tripels I have had so far but that may be due to the age.
